@kendrakay_22 Who needs a paddle when you have a 1,000lb manatee as your crew?😂 Follow me for more incredible manatee encounters! And what would you do in this situation? Disclaimer: It is illegal to touch manatees because it can stress them out, alter their natural behavior, and even cause harm by getting stuck by boats. That’s why I never touch them and keep still so I don’t scare them. #OMG #fail #unbelievablestories #wildlifeencounters #manatee #paddleboard #florida ♬ original sound - Kendra Kay🏄🏻‍♀️🦈
